BEST ANSWER:For bigger projects, I cut two pieces and align them along the edge. I paint the substrate the same color as the velvet. I use the factory edge along the seam and my cut edge along the edge of the workpiece, where it is usually hidden or at least not too noticeable.

BEST ANSWER:Yes it will stay in place. The adhesive is very good on the under side. However when putting it down make sure you start out straight as possible. Otherwise you will have to pull it up and that begins to make things difficult. You can pull it initially but not a lot of it if it is long.

Thanks so much. I was wondering how it would work and look if I didn't remote the backing for the adhesive. I'd use it in a curio cabinet where I would display stuff that I wouldnt move too often. Maybe my answer is to remove the adhesive just at the corners to keep it in place a bit? Thanks for any additional thoughts!

It will work nicely if you are careful to position properly on a clean dust free surface. Do not remove the entire backing at one time but rather remove as you apply making sure that you squeeze out air pockets as you go. Once down you will like the results.

I used it to line a wood jewelry box and drawers. It has pretty good adhesive so line it up before placing it. I think it would work well in a curio. Make sure the area is clean as this will pick up dust very easily

BEST ANSWER:Yes. The adhesive used on this velvet is a very aggressive pressure sensitive type adhesive. It should stick very firmly as long as the foam surface was dry and oil free. However, due to the aggressive nature of the adhesive, attempting to remove or reposition the velvet might damage the underlying foam. Good luck.

Yes, but you only get one chance on the very sticky back side. Once you start, continue to move in one direction and keep smoothing the surface as you go. You can probably pull up an immediate wrinkle, but not if you get to far ahead of the wrinkle when putting the velvet down.

I need the wine colored adhesive velvet but I don't see it listed anymore. Can Rockler still get wine colored if not please suggest a location for me? Thank you

BEST ANSWER:I've also entered this same question. I checked the answer given just now and could not find said velvet at Amazon. Black is available via Amazon/Rockler. The only place I've found and purchased PSA velvet with a wine color (but not quite dark enough) is from Eagle. However, its quality is doesn't measure up to what is available at Rockler and isn't adequate for my boxes.

Don't think so. But sure why you'd want to though, as this is intended to be the final layer and present a nice appearance. I've used this many times to line the bottom of boxes. The stuff sticks well and does exactly what it should.

BEST ANSWER:This velvet is soft and consistent in texture. The photos here make it look like it is styrofoam or something...it is not. I use this frequently...it is a fabric with an adhesive backing. The velvet surface is very similar to velvet you will find in the fabric store, except maybe not as plush of a pile. When placed into a box, it gives it a nice soft rich feel and it adheres wonderfully!

Terry, I think the material nice, I used it on several small jewelry boxes for a jewelry maker in Arizona. I found the material a little hard to work with for the application I used it for (smaller heart shaped boxes).

BEST ANSWER:My application didnt have any exposed edges. But I looked at an extra piece I had and it seems to be a solid color just like your normal craft felt. This stuff is so thin that I don't think you'd be able to notice If there was a slight color difference. And if there was, you could take a permanent marker to it before applying it...depending on your color, mine was black. Good luck!

I tried putting the velvet in after the box was complete and it was very difficult. I now buy velvet from Hobby Lobby. I cut a piece of 1/4" plywood and wrap the velvet across the face and around the edges. I use spray adhesive to attach the velvet to the plywood.

The adhesive is edge to edge. I cut mine to leave the factory edge near the top edge that people would see. On the inside and bottom I used the back end of a knife to press it into the corners. I then used an Exact -o knife to trim the edges.

BEST ANSWER:Though it is difficult to see in photos, this product is indeed velvet. It comes in a roll with an adhesive backing, just cut, peel, and place. Then rub your hand back and forth across to make sure it has a good contact with whatever you are attaching it to. Great stuff!

I would call it velvet, I have put felt in boxes and this product is more elegant and feels like crushed velvet to me. The only issue I have had with the product is it is hard to work with to get placed correctly (at least for the bottom of a box).

BEST ANSWER:I applied this to wood but I think it would apply to glass pretty easily. As far as removing, again I didn't apply it to glass but I think it will stick pretty aggressively compared to wood but I'm sure you would be able to remove it with a little work then clean the adhesive off the glass with a solvent or mineral spirits.

I have a cabinet that has 70 small drawers that are 2.75"w X 7" deep & 6 drawers that are 4.75"w X 7" deep. How many pieces of velvet liner do I need to purchase from if velvet liner is 12" X 24" per roll.

BEST ANSWER:The short answer is that you will need SEVEN rolls. You can get 11 pieces 2.75 x 7 from one roll with a little waste. Five rolls will give you 55 pieces. You can get 7 pieces 2.75 x 7 AND 4 pieces 4.75 x 7 from another roll and 8 pieces 2.75 x 7 AND 3 pieces 4.75 x 7 from another roll. So total is exactly what you want from 7 rolls. Hope this helps.

Here are some tips on how to install. Use a utility knife with a new blade, an accurate rule, a plastic triangle and a smooth piece of plywood. Cut paper side up, trim cut the material to ensure squarness. Accuratly measure space and cut to those dimensions. Peal off paper being careful not to let material fold over and stick to itself- yuo'll never get it apart. DO NOT try to install directly- you'll end up with a mess. Spray a light, even mist of WINDEX to adhesive suface and then install. The windex will allow some movement to work into sides and cornres before adhesion and will not prevent proper adhesion.

Great product, easy to use. This is my second time using it. First I used it in a jewelry box, this time in a display case. Had no trouble either time, just use a utility knife to cut, take careful measurements and your good to go. Much easier to work with than non-adhesive products out there, that require you to use a spray adhesive for instance. With this there is no mess... Price is a little steep, and unfortunately they carry them in bigger sheets. Overall its worth every penny, I would definitely buy this again.

This is a great product. I am so glad I found it. It worked very well with no problems. I read about someone having an issue cutting it, but I found if you use a utlity knife you should have no issues. I would recommend this to anyone having a project they want to add a touch of class to.

This product is so easy to install and looks great. I used it for the lining of an oak box for a vintage riflescope, and it would look just as nice in any fine jewelry box or the like. Highly recommended.

This is the 2nd time I have ordered this product..I like using it...However in both shipments the velvet had a big crease down the middle of it that would not come out and I could not use... This caused me to loose about 2 inches of velvet down the middle of the sheet...More care in shipping is needed... Editor's note: We'll ask our shipping not to fold these sheets when packaging.

I love this stuff. I make a lot of fancy boxes and I've tried everything else to stick liners in - glue is messy and spray glue comes loose after time. I wondered if this stuff would be sticky enough, but believe me, it's sticky. Think duct tape adhesive on steroids. I did 16 boxes at once with it, and the first one was a learning process, since it will stick tight to anything that it firmly touches including your fingers, but if you use things like the point of a pocket knife and pins to handle it, it is pretty easy to work with. I highly recommend it and the self-adhesive felt.

I made a jewelry box/bank for my new grand-daughter, using the mail box door and the adhesive velvet on the top and inside the small drawers. Also used the brass coin slot. All worked great, and it was a hit.Super-stick adhesive. Should last a life-time.I also made the mail truck from your pattern and parts for her twin brother.Another hit.

The product was a very nice quality. The only problem I found with it was cutting it to fit my project. I would suggest using a VERY sharp blade when cuttting it! Other than that I was very pleased. It was also nice that the sheets came rolled in a tube, and not folded.

This is my second use of this excellent material. I made the jewelry chest using the plan from a popular woodworking magazine and then decided to make another one with a modified ring bar feature that tilts open to reveal more space and includes a lift out earring box. The product is easy to work with and cut. The self adhesive backing sticks tenaciously and obviously I needed a little more of it for this modified box. Very high quality material and worth every penny.

It was so easy to cut and apply, my husband did it for me. There were over 50 small drawers and 6 large drawers to do and he didn't have a problem with any of them. It made the piece of furniture look so much nicer with all the drawers lined. Love the product and would recommend it to all.

I really liked using this product. It was very easy to use and looks great. It really completed the small jewelry box I created, giving it a professionally made look. I found the size to be perfect, but I agree if I was doing a larger project, larger sheets would be great. It came in a tube, so you don't have to worry about creases. My son and I are working on 2 spice box jewelry cabinets and we will be using this along with the ring rack very soon. Great color options, but would love to see purple as well. I highly recommend this product.

The self adhesive velvet worked great in my recent project. Very easy to install and the adhesion was strong. The velvet has a very nice soft feel to it and in my case, the green velvet added a nice element to my project as a whole. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. And I already have!

This project used both the Blue Self-Adhesive Velvet and the Blue Ring Bar. It was nice to have several choices of colors. My Daughter wanted blue. Project is from July 2009 Wood Magazine and is build out of Walnut. Material was easy to work with and of high quality.

The adhesive velvet worked perfectly to help turn a small vintage table with drawers and a deep bin on either side that belonged to my late mother into a jewelry armoire for my daughter. The velvet is so easy to work with and is ideal for projects such as this. I love the fact that it is shipped in a tube so that no creases can ruin the appearance of a project. I highly recommend it and will buy it again.

I recently built this curly maple jewel box and lined it with your self-adhesive black velvet and also put in a black padded velvet ring bar. This really added a wonderful finishing touch to the project. I also found that the velvet adheres really well. Great stuff. I'll keep using it.

I am now finishing the tenth project with this self-adhesive velvet! I use it to cover the bottom of heirloom boxes and the tray. It gives a nice finished look to the project.

To cut it to fit, I use a rotary cutter, like a veneer cutter. You could also use a fabric cutter, though be sure to remove any residual adhesive! I cut the velvet about 1/4" oversize. Then lay it velvet side down on a clean work surface. Peel off the release paper. Carefully drop the bottom piece onto the velvet. Press firmly. Then flip it over and smooth out any wrinkles in the velvet. If you dado a groove for the bottom, allow extra width for the velvet thickness.

Save the release paper; glue doesn't stick to it; so it protects work tables from glue squeeze out.

Very important: do not try to put the velvet in place after the project is complete; it stretches and retracts; and is nearly impossible to fit.

I have used this product on two occasions, both for jewelry boxes. This time, I made 5 boxes of various woods. The look and feel is excellent and I am vary happy with it. In order to apply the product to the bottom of a box, I use some heavy card stock cut precisely to shape, apply the velvet to it and trim. This is dropped into the box where I have already spread rubber cement. It works great.

I love this stuff! It has a fine feel to it, and it is easy to cut and install. It will take any project up a notch in its final finish. Adhesion is excellent even on bare wood and the colors offered are rich in appearance. It will cut the assembly time of any project. This is true for all the colors offered.
